World Toilet Day 5K - ONLY $6.00! - Denver

Event Description

*A LIMITED NUMBER OF MEDALS ARE STILL AVAILABLE FROM OUR 2016 RACE AND ON CLEARANCE FOR $6.00 UNTIL THEY SELL OUT! COMPLETE YOUR RACE BY THE END OF 2017!

WORLD TOILET DAY is November 19, 2016!

If you’ve ever participated in a running event, you know that the longest lines are usually the lines for the Port-a-Potties! Perhaps you’ve been out on a long run or walk, and the site of a toilet is the greatest thing you’ve even seen! Many would say that a toilet is a runner’s best friend.

November 19th is World Toilet Day. Here are some facts to consider:

650 million people in the world do not have access to safe water.

2.3 billion people don’t have access to adequate sanitation, one in three of the world’s population.

More than 500,000 children die every year from diarrhea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. That’s over 1,400 children a day!

In honor of World Toilet Day, we are hosting a VIRTUAL 5K race. You will get a World Toilet Day: Movember 5K finisher’s medal!

Along with celebrating RUNNING, we will also be donating at least 20% of every registration to WaterAid.org, an amazing organization that provides clean water and toilets that are essential for life. For every $50 donated, they are able to provide a toilet for two families. Let’s see how many families we can get toilets for! In 2015, we raised $8,700 for WaterAid with our Toilet Day event, which helped 348 families get a toilet! In 2016 our goal is to raise at least $15,000! We sold out of these medals fast, so sign up now!What: This is a 5K virtual run (or walk) to celebrate the FRIENDS in our lives.

When: Complete your race any time during the month of November 2016. If you can do it on November 19 (the actual World Toilet Day) that would be even better!

*Medals will be shipped out at the beginning of November 2016.

Where: You choose the course and you time yourself (you’ll report your finishing time to us).

Why: Because this is our way of honoring World Toilet Day and raising funds to provide toilets for numerous families around the world, through a donation to WaterAid.org

COST: $20, which includes your medal, bib and shipping. Plus, at least 20% of every entry will be donated to WaterAid.org (typically about $5). *We are in no way affiliated with this charity, we like to choose a different charity for each of our races and are happy to raise funds for them.
